Genesis. 1: 1-19

1:1 Ekuqaleni, UNkulunkulu wadala izulu nomhlaba.

1:2 Kodwa umhlaba wawungenalutho futhi ungenalutho, nobumnyama babuphezu kobuso bakwalasha; kanjalo uMoya kaNkulunkulu wenziwa phezu kwamanzi.

1:3 Futhi uNkulunkulu wathi, “Makube khona ukukhanya.” Futhi ukukhanya kwaba.

1:4 Futhi uNkulunkulu wabona ukukhanya, ukuthi kwakukuhle; kanjalo wahlukanisa ukukhanya nobumnyama.

1:5 Wabiza ukukhanya, ‘Usuku,' kanye nobumnyama, ‘Ubusuku.’ Kwaba ukuhlwa nokusa, usuku olulodwa.

1:6 UNkulunkulu naye wathi, “Makube khona umkhathi phakathi kwamanzi, futhi mawuhlukanise amanzi namanzi.

1:7 Futhi uNkulunkulu wenza umkhathi, futhi wahlukanisa amanzi angaphansi komkhathi, kulabo ababephezu komkhathi. Kwaba njalo.

1:8 UNkulunkulu wabiza umkhathi ngokuthi ‘iZulu.’ Kwaba ngukuhlwa nokusa, ngosuku lwesibili.

1:9 Ngempela uNkulunkulu wathi: “Amanzi aphansi kwezulu mawaqoqekele ndawonye; futhi makubonakale umhlabathi owomile.” Kwaba njalo.

1:10 UNkulunkulu wabiza umhlabathi owomileyo, ‘Umhlaba,’ futhi wabiza ukuqoqwa kwamanzi, ‘Zilwandle.’ UNkulunkulu wabona ukuthi kuhle.

1:11

Wathi, “Izwe maliqhamuke izitshalo eziluhlaza, bobabili abaveza imbewu, nezihlahla ezithela izithelo, bethela izithelo ngezinhlobo zabo, ombewu yakhe ikuyo, emhlabeni wonke.” Kwaba njalo.

1:12

Umhlaba wathela izitshalo eziluhlaza, bobabili abaveza imbewu, ngokwezinhlobo zazo, nezihlahla ezithela izithelo, yilowo nalowo unendlela yakhe yokuhlwanyela, ngokwezinhlobo zayo. Futhi uNkulunkulu wabona ukuthi kuhle.

1:13 Kwaba ngukuhlwa nokusa, ngosuku lwesithathu.

1:14 Wayesethi uNkulunkulu: “Makube khona izinkanyiso emkhathini wezulu. Futhi mabahlukanise imini nobusuku, futhi makube yizibonakaliso, zombili izinkathi zonyaka, kanye nezinsuku neminyaka.

1:15 Mabakhanye emkhathini wezulu, bakhanyisele umhlaba.” Kwaba njalo.

1:16 UNkulunkulu wenza izinkanyiso ezimbili ezinkulu: ukukhanya okukhulu, ukubusa phezu kosuku, kanye nokukhanya okuncane, ukubusa ebusuku, kanye nezinkanyezi.

1:17 Futhi wazibeka emkhathini wezulu, ukukhanyisa emhlabeni wonke,

1:18 nokubusa imini nobusuku, lokwehlukanisa ukukhanya lobumnyama. Futhi uNkulunkulu wabona ukuthi kuhle.

1:19 Kwaba ngukuhlwa nokusa, ngosuku lwesine.

Maka 6: 53-56

6:53	Kwathi sebewelile, bafika ezweni laseGenesaretha, and they reached the shore.
6:54	And when they had disembarked from the boat, the people immediately recognized him.
6:55	And running throughout that entire region, they began to carry on beds those who had maladies, to where they heard that he would be.
6:56	And in whichever place he entered, in towns or villages or cities, they placed the infirm in the main streets, and they pleaded with him that they might touch even the hem of his garment. And as many as touched him were made healthy.
